More on watching CNN, I am overwhelmed by the lack of 'quality control' in hosts! Reporters are fat, ugly, with speech impediments, grammar challenged, adenoidal and facile and I am sure that this diverts from the matters they are laying before us!
Anderson Cooper is an exception as he is almost as urbane as the perfect Alex Trebek! His questions are mostly the sorts of things you would ask if you had the guts and the interviewee was a dinner guest.
Michael Holmes is a keeper. Anna Coren's cow like moo is very annoying as are her Scientologist-like twinkling eyes. Contacts perhaps? Then it may have been a good idea to pick blue ones to match her bottle blonde hairdo.
There is definitely a great need for good producers on CNN - the trend for presenters to stand is quite stressful to watch. Nobody looks comfortable. A producer would fight for chairs. Mind you no chairs means a budget saving.
I like the braininess of Christiane Amanpour but sometimes she verges on the preachiness that threatens the story. She is also a good looking woman, no dolly bird but with credibility, something so many of the other presenters lack.
But the biggest complaint is the ever-dwindling playlist of news. When are they going to cater for people who are interested in the whole world, not just whatever region CNN decides we may watch?
